Why Do I Need To Write Something?

WHY DO I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING? Why do I need to write something? Why does this mean so much to me? For years I have written Without much result Why haven't I given up by now? Why haven't I been silenced in understanding My work is not much to others? Why do I need to write something still? So much has been written I repeat myself Even these words are a repetition. Why do I need to live? One day I will not For now I write This is my life This is what I have given it too Not good enough it may well be But it is what I have and what I am- I write now As if in these very lines I am realizing The dream of a lifetime.
